Let's get specific, and lay it out. What is doctrine? How do we find it? How is a doctrine, belief, or practice judged as to whether it is truly apostolic, proper, approved by God, or not?
What guidelines do you follow in determining what to believe and how to practice your faith?

Remember that we live in two realms: the spiritual realm, and the natural realm.
1) The spiritual realm manifests itself in the natural realm; the natural realm attests
to the spiritual realm;
2) They are not contradictory, but run parallel one to another: the Truth in its course,
and the evil in its course;
3) Compare the spiritual realm with the spiritual; and the natural realm with the natural.
example:
Satan manifests his work in the natural realm through abortions of children; in the spiritual
realm, he tempts the saints to abort God's word.
